Little Houses "Plum Coat"






It breaks my heart a bit to list this coat, because I had it in my Etsy favorites forever and then when I received it, tried to make it work. Unfortunately, it is just too small for me and I do not get the use out of it I had hoped I would.

From Etsy darling Little Houses, this is a one of a kind handmade coat--Shana, the maker, no longer has the fabric in stock. Handmade porcelain buttons, wool blend material, fully lined with cotton print fabric. Here are the measurements from the original listing:

Size Small
Length: 20 inches
Shoulder to Shoulder: 14.5 inches
Chest: 34 inches

I will note that the arms on the coat are on the skinny side. Also, some of the finishing work on the inside is a little rough (see photos). Fabric is slightly worn on bottom middle back--nothing noticeable from a distance, but if you feel the fabric, you can feel little nubbles--similar to what happens when a sweater gets a little worn.

Paid: $315. Asking $120 plus $7 shipping in U.S.

Here is a link to the original listing, where you can see better pictures of the coat being modeled.



Listing ends November 1 at 5 PM EST. Please leave your email in the comments.
